Today in Labor History February 8, 1887: The Dawes Act created a U.S. government-imposed system of private property on Indigenous lands. It forced Native Americans to “assume a capitalist relationship with property” that did not previously exist in their cultures.

In contrast to earlier United States policies of open war, forcible removal, and relocation to address the “#Indian #Problem,”
the #Dawes #Act of 1887
focused on assimilation and land severalty
— making American Indians citizens of the United States with individually-titled plots of land
— rather than members of collective tribes with communal land.

Considerable scholarship shows that the consequences of the policy differed substantially from its stated goals,
and by the time of its repeal in 1934, American Indians had lost two-thirds of all native land held in 1887 (86 million acres)
—and nearly two-thirds of American Indians had become landless or unable to meet subsistence needs

Today’s listening is ‘Oh Brother’, the 2024 album by Dawes.

This is the new album from Dawes, which has only just arrived with me, so this is my first listen.

This seems to be something of a stripped-back sonic approach from the Goldsmith brothers, which I’m not entirely sure I like overly much.

But Taylor Goldsmith’s excellent (deceptively brutal) lyric writing and ear for a good melody are still present, so that’s all to the good!

Koko ajan tulee hienoja uusia levyjä joka suunnasta. Voisinpa väittää, että ehkä enemmän kuin koskaan ennen.

Silti, tää #Dawes in parin vuoden aikanen AOR-progepläjäys on kyl ihan ehdottomasti koko vuosituhannen TOP 10 levy. Loistavaa musiikkia ja todella hienoja sanoituksia. Tää on vähälle huomiolle jäänyt 5/5albumi. Mestariteos.

Jos siis esim. #Wigwam on joskus kutitellu hupiluuta, niin tsekkaapa tämä. Väitän et on parempi.

Hemmetti tsekkaa, joka tapauksessa. Oon vieläkin shokissa.

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 7 - Day 76

Desperados Under the Eaves

Remembering Warren Zevon!

One of the finest lyricists to ever put pen to paper. I urge you to explore.

Enjoy every sandwich!

“Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Heaven help the one who leaves”

I went on a #BikeTooter shopping trip earlier, to #Waitrose* in #Cowbridge (ikr) on my #TourDeFer. The purpose of the trip was to obtain wedding anniversary flowers (thanks), and parked next to this old skool #Dawes #SuperGalaxy. The owner appeared and we had a happy 20 minutes complimenting each other on tyres (#Shwalbe #MarathonPlus) and comparing notes on gears and brakes. His were centre-pull.

*waitrose is an upmarket supermarket. It sells shizzle like mussels and #caviar

Today’s listening is ’Nothing Is Wrong’, the 2011 album by Dawes.

This was the second studio album by Dawes and you can tell that Taylor Goldsmith was still finding his feet as a songwriter at this stage of their career.

There are some good tunes here and altogether this is a very enjoyable album!

In particular I've been listening to the 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of this album from 2021, which is pressed on two ‘milky clear’ coloured 45rpm discs. Very nice!

House parties and local bands,
Good weed with some Jovi fans,
Old friends playin' MegaMan,
and a little Donkey Kong.
